PrograMmING Overview

We provide opportunities for artists to create, exhibit, and discuss their work.

 

The East and West Austin Studio Tours (EAST and WEST) are annual city-wide art events that connect artists and the public in creative spaces. This year we have combined them into one event.

The Texas Biennial is a geographically-focused, independent survey of contemporary art in Texas.

Big Medium’s dedicated gallery space for established and emerging artists to create innovative and experimental exhibitions.

 

An annual award of $15,000 and a solo exhibition for one Austin-based artist in the Big Medium Gallery. The Tito’s Prize is funded by generous support from Tito’s Handmade Vodka.

Canopy is an arts complex that houses nearly 60 artist studios. Providing studio space for artists is at the heart of what we do.

In partnership with The LINE Austin, this residency is a six week opportunity for artists to experiment and create in a private studio in the heart of Downtown Austin and engage with visitors and locals alike.

 

In collaboration with Thirsty Planet Brewing Co., one Austin-based artist creates a concept beer, label, and packaging inspired by their artistic practice.

Intimate adventures into a select few artist studios during the summertime, exclusively for Big Medium’s members.
